To License Crime Is satanic,

But to license the greatest curse Of ones
country is diabolism of the deepest dye.
II goes without saying, that the traffic in
alcoholic poisons in the form ofwhiskey.
beer. wine, brandy, ETC., furnishes
dangerous and certain method to flood
the country with crime, disease, misery,
and pauperism. IL this be true, then the
legal sanction of the horrible traffic for
money consideration is a practical denial
of the claims of virtue and religions
the most satanic and traitorous mockery
of justice ever perpetrated in a civilized
community; dastardly and heinous
crime against God, home, and humanity.
and the very acme of moral depravity.
A High License, therefore, because of its
more delusive character, threatens to open
a broader vortex of crime and deDauchery
to engulf the whole country in ruin. The
evils of this traffic are so general, and the
consequences so terrific, that it demands
the strongest condemnation and execration
from every friend of virtue and civilization
and any sanction or license, high or low,
or in whatever form, should be resisted
and stamped out with all intensity Of our
enthusiasm, our moral courage, our pa
triotic zeal and honest indignation, as
the vilest outrage on our common sense,
common manhood, and common intelli-
gence. w. j. d.

BOSTON, May 3.-The House committee on the Beverly investigation continued it's ses- sion at the State House this afternoon. MT. Ranney resumed his argument to show why Mr. Williams should be compelled to pro- duce his cheque book and bank book. He was followed by MT. Dagney, who argued in support of MT. Williams position. Ex- Governor Gaston followed on the same side. MT. Ranney closed the arguments when the committee took the matter under advise ment and will render a decision in the morn ing. In the evening Simeon A. Wheeler of Taunton, George H. Fernald of Worcester, Charles R. Spratt of South Duxbury, G. B. Dennett of Taunton and other witnesses tes- tifed to being employed by MT. Williams to talk up division among members of the legislature and to receiving money from him for their services. W. D. Sohier, counsel for Beverly, who has just returned from Mexico, where he went just previous to the opening of the Senate investigation, appeared and testified: ''I had nothing to do with the employment of lobbyists and very little with the disbursement of money. heard the report of an attempt to bribe Mr. Slattery before I went away, but took no stock in it. I said to Mir. Quill that l would give $1 ,000 for evidence that would convict of bribery if any had been used." Adjourned to 9 o'clock to morrow evening.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 3.-One of the per sons who have just been convicted of plotting against the Czar is Q student named Oulian- of, the son of high Russian official Dur ing the trial he displayed the highest intelli- gence and maintained most digni6ed bear ing. Entering into a minute scientific dis pute with Feodoeof, renowned chemist, he compelled the latter to acknowledge that the prisoner WAS in the right and he himself in the wrong. At the final sitting Oulianof made a brilliant speech. He declared that neither he nor his companions feared death. He could imagine nothing more sublime than to die in an endeavor to deliver the unfortu- nate Russian people. Hundreds of young men would initiate him until the Czar would be compelled to change his despotic system. The prisoners, with one exception, are all intelligent, gentlemanly, and of good fami- lies. One said that he had intended to mur- der the Czar with a revolver, but afterwards thought that bombs would be better.

A Steamer Goes Down and Her Crew

 BosToN, May 3.-A special to the Herald from St. Johns, N. F., says: The first news reached here this afternoon of an appalling marine disaster that occurred at the south west island of Channel harbor to the east ward of Cape Ray late Saturday. Shortly af ter midnight the inhabitants of the neigh boring shore were reused from their slumbers by the sound of steamships horn. Hasten. ing to the edge of the water they peered through the darkness, rain and fog to locate the position of the blowing steamer and pres sntly rockets were observed to shoot up to- ward the heavens in rapid succession, show ing that the unknown craft was in need of assistance. The ship was only about four hundred yards from land, but heavy gale and tremendous sea prevented boats being sent to the rescue. Torches and tar barrels were burned along the beach and bells sound ed in order to give the imperi He'd people an idea of their position, but beyond this it was absolutely impossible to make any attempt to reach the steamer. The signals made from the shore could be seen on board and heart rending cries from those in distress were borne in on the gale. At 2:30 o'clock, two hours after the alarm was first given, disappeared beneath the sea- The storm continued till daylight when it subsided sufficiently to allow boats to put off to the scene of the nights catastrophe. There was plenty of wreckage found floating about from which the ill-fated steamer was found to be the John Knox, Captain Brolly, from Glasgow bound to Quebec with cargo of iron, liquors and bricks. The bodies of the captain and fifteen of the crew have been re- covered and one of the latter has been iden- tified by a certificate of discharge found in the coat pocket as that of Fireman John Me Guire As the steamer had crew of thirty there are over a dozen bodies still missing.
 The John Knox was an iron steamer of 1 ,351 tons register and was built at Jarrow in 1883. She was owned by Neal Mclean, of Glasgow
